sideplate shape

Hi again

Thank you for this information! I am nothing near an expert, but the sideplate seems to match the appearance of the rest of the pistol. It is a shooter; the barrel and receiver match, but the barrel and toggle and other small parts do not, though all appear to be Erfurt parts. Interestingly, this is a CAI import from the 1990's, and there are no post WWI proof marks. CAI said that they got it from the the former East Germany or Eastern Europe after the wall fell. It seems as if it was not touched from 1918 until the 1990's
